But to those who migrated after they were persecuted and then
strived and remained steadfast, to them your Lord is All-
Compassionate, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 16:110)
As for those who migrate for Allah's sake after being wronged,
We shall give them good lodging in this world, and the reward of
the hereafter is greater still if they only knew. (Qur'an, 16:41)
THEY HONOUR THEIR TRUSTS
Those who honour their trusts and their contracts; (Qur'an, 23:8)
Allah commands you to return to their owners the things you hold
on trust and, when you judge between people, to judge with
justice. How excellent is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah is
All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Qur'an, 4:58)
Among the People of the Book there are some who, if you entrust
them with a pile of gold, will return it to you. But there are others
among them who, if you entrust them with just a single dinar, will
not return it to you, unless you stay standing over them. That is
because they say, 'We are under no obligation where the gentiles
are concerned.' They tell a lie against Allah and they know it.
(Qur'an, 3:75)
Those who honour their trusts and contracts; (Qur'an, 70:32)
THEY ARE TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE
I am a faithful Messenger to you. (Qur'an, 26:178)
The King said, 'Bring him to me straight away! So I may draw him
very close to me.' When he had spoken with him, he declared,
'Today you are trusted, established in our sight.' (Qur'an, 12:54)
Before them We put Pharaoh's people to the test when a noble
Messenger came to them, saying 'Hand over to me the servants of
Allah. I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.' (Qur'an, 44:17-18)
He (Hud) said, 'My people, I am by no means a fool, but rather am
a Messenger from the Lord of all the worlds, transmitting my
Lord's Message to you, and I am a faithful counsellor to you.
(Qur'an, 7:67-68)
